Senior Notes As of September 27, 2014, the Company’s long-term debt consists of $245 million in aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes due 2020 at a stated coupon rate of 8.125% (the “2020 Notes”), $500 million in aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes due 2023 at a stated coupon rate of 4.75% (the “2023 Notes”) and $325 million in aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes due 2024 at a stated coupon rate of 5.375% (the “2024 Notes,” and together with the 2020 Notes and 2023 Notes, the “Notes”). The 2020 Notes were issued on March 26, 2010, at 99.164% of par, resulting in a yield to maturity of 8.25%, and interest is payable on March 15 and September 15 of each year. The 2020 Notes mature on March 15, 2020. The 2023 Notes were issued on January 17, 2013, and interest is payable on January 15 and July 15 of each year. The 2023 Notes were offered and sold in a private transaction to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A and, outside of the United States, pursuant to Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). In accordance with the registration rights agreement entered into at the time of the issuance of the 2023 Notes, the Company completed an exchange offer to exchange the 2023 Notes for substantially identical notes registered under the Securities Act in the second quarter of 2014. The 2023 Notes mature on January 15, 2023. The 2024 Notes were issued on March 11, 2014, and interest is payable on March 15 and September 15 of each year. The proceeds from the offering of $325 million, net of related issuance costs of $3.8 million and together with existing cash on hand, were used to redeem the remaining aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 7.875% senior unsecured notes due 2018 (the “2018 Notes”) ($280 million) and to redeem 10% of the original aggregate principal amount of the 2020 Notes ($35 million) at stated redemption prices, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the respective redemption dates. In connection with these transactions, the Company paid $327.1 million and recognized losses of $17.5 million on the extinguishment of debt in the first quarter of 2014. The Company may redeem all or part of the 2024 Notes, at its option, at any time on or after March 15, 2019, at the redemption prices set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.

2020 | 101.792%
2021 | 100.896%
2022 and thereafter | 100.0%
Prior to March 15, 2017, the Company may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2024 Notes, in an amount not to exceed the amount of net cash proceeds of one or more equity offerings, at a redemption price equal to 105.375% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date, provided that at least 65% of the original aggregate principal amount of the 2024 Notes remains outstanding after the redemption and any such redemption is made 90 days after the closing of such equity offering. Prior to March 15, 2019, the Company may redeem the 2024 Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus a “make-whole” premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest to, the redemption date. The Notes are senior unsecured obligations. The Company’s obligations under the Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis by certain domestic subsidiaries, which are directly or indirectly 100% owned by Lear. See Note 18, “Supplemental Guarantor Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements.” The indenture governing the 2020 Notes contains restrictive covenants that, among other things, limit the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to: (i) incur additional debt, (ii) pay dividends and make other restricted payments, (iii) create or permit certain liens, (iv) issue or sell capital stock of the Company’s restricted subsidiaries, (v) use the proceeds from sales of assets and subsidiary stock, (vi) create or permit restrictions on the ability of the Company’s restricted subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other distributions to the Company, (vii) enter into transactions with affiliates, (viii) enter into sale and leaseback transactions and (ix) consolidate or merge or sell all or substantially all of the Company’s assets. The foregoing limitations are subject to exceptions as set forth in the 2020 Notes. In addition, if in the future the 2020 Notes have an investment grade credit rating from both Moody’s Investors Service and Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services and no default has occurred and is continuing, certain of these covenants will, thereafter, no longer apply to the 2020 Notes for so long as the 2020 Notes have an investment grade credit rating by both rating agencies. The indenture governing the 2020 Notes also contains customary events of default. Subject to certain exceptions, the indenture governing the 2023 Notes and 2024 Notes contains restrictive covenants that, among other things, limit the ability of the Company to: (i) create or permit certain liens, (ii) enter into sale and leaseback transactions and (iii) consolidate or merge or sell all or substantially all of the Company’s assets. These indentures also provide for customary events of default. As of September 27, 2014, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the indentures governing the Notes. 2013 Redemption of Senior Notes In the first quarter of 2013, the Company redeemed 10% of the original aggregate principal amount of each of the 2018 Notes and 2020 Notes ($70 million, in aggregate) at the stated redemption price, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. In connection with this transaction, the Company paid $72.1 million and recognized a loss of $3.6 million on the partial extinguishment of debt in the first quarter of 2013. Revolving Credit Facility The Company’s amended and restated credit agreement, which matures on January 30, 2018, provides for a $1.0 billion revolving credit facility. As of September 27, 2014 and December 31, 2013, there were no borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility. Advances under the revolving credit facility generally bear interest at a variable rate per annum equal to (i) the Eurocurrency Rate (as defined) plus an adjustable margin of 1.0% to 2.25% based on the Company’s corporate rating (1.5% as of September 27, 2014), payable on the last day of each applicable interest period but in no event less frequently than quarterly, or (ii) the Adjusted Base Rate (as defined) plus an adjustable margin of 0.0% to 1.25% based on the Company’s corporate rating (0.50% as of September 27, 2014), payable quarterly. A facility fee which ranges from 0.25% to 0.50% of the total amount committed under the revolving credit facility, is payable quarterly. The Company’s obligations under the revolving credit facility are secured on a first priority basis by a lien on substantially all of the U.S. assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries, as well as 100% of the stock of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the stock of certain of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries. In addition, obligations under the revolving credit facility are guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a first priority basis, by certain domestic subsidiaries, which are directly or indirectly 100% owned by Lear. See Note 18, “Supplemental Guarantor Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements.” The revolving credit facility contains various customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Company, including, without limitation, (i) covenants regarding maximum leverage and minimum interest coverage, (ii) limitations on fundamental changes involving the Company or its subsidiaries and (iii) limitations on indebtedness, liens, investments and restricted payments. As of September 27, 2014, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the agreement governing the revolving credit facility. For further information on the Notes and the revolving credit facility, see Note 6, “Debt,” to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
